Thanks Damned,
Just a note as I was interested, the first (p1) is not 100% needed, you can replace this with a number, i.e 1d6x(p2)

An upcoming Star Wars d6 Extension may do this but it is not quite yet ready.
Its not on my radar....

Thanks Damned, I will take a look at these rulesets and see how they calculate the range. There may be something in them for me to take guidance from.

Hi The Yak
Yes you can use a number or a Parameter in all those fields.

I am working on an Earthdawn character sheet for MoreCore and setting a formula to /earthdawn (p1) works well, but setting it to /earthdawn (p1) + (p2) (or /earthdawn ((p1) + (p2))) doesn't roll anything so I am wondering what I am doing incorrectly.

I tried to include a screen shot, but the dialog box that opened wouldn't let me add an image. :(

As described to me the roll is
Earthdawn: /earthdawn # (roll step # on the earthdawn 4th step/action dice table)
so that is how I programmed it.
It accepts only one number...

That is how it works, but similar to other systems, things are sometimes added/subtracted to get the final step. For example, abilities are typically Attribute + Ability to get the final step, and certain types of injuries decrease the step, so I was hoping to be able to use the built-in features of your character sheets to do the necessary calculations. Is that not possible?

Sure - its possible but computers dont now how to do anything without programming them to know what to do.

6 is not the same as 3+3 unless your program knows to handle 3+3.
This roll only looks for a single number.

But it also goes deeper than that - are there situational modifiers?
Do you ever add more than 2 numbers together?
Are modifiers ever negative?

You need to spell out EXACTLY how a roll is built so I can program it.

I had to make a dice system that did this. It was very custom to a homebrew game so I didn't think to share it with Damned. If you want to steal the code it is back on page 251 Mage5.ext. But I should have corrected SuccessFail dice to do what I revised.

So what i started doing was using the modStack. I would click attribute, and it would add that number to Mod, then click Skill it would also add, then run my dice mod which would take the mod stack as number of dice, then go from there. I plan on doing an upcoming video on how to make dice systems for MoreCore. But I just started school and work roughly 50+ hours, so expect that within a couple+ weeks. :)

Shadowrun 6e. It uses a Trait+Skill level to generate a pool, then has a success target and fail target (5-6 and 1). If the pool could be modified to do this that would solve my problems, but I don't have the inclination to re-progam sorry... perhaps someone could do an extension? It's easy to manually handle, just would be nice if it could be automated. Thanks.

As a quick and dirty try editing the current sfdice roll and hard code the s and f values in and remove the part where its looking for that in the string and then you can use the pool commands...

Cheers much appreciated, I have another question,

In All Flesh there are success levels when you get a high roll.
Is there a dice string that allows for these?

Example would be that I need to add 1 to the damage roll BEFORE multiplying.
So is there a dice string that does /afmbedmg (1d6+1)x(p2), basic is 1d6+1 first, then multiply.
